questions or unfinished statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.amost people say “yes” much more readily than “no”. a friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. but, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. but, youve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. they tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards .saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists .“everyone wants to be liked,” says gabriele steinki, a german psychologist. “saying no risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”the result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. but experts say this is regrettable . anyone should have the right to say “no”.in fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.but, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.most people believe that “if i say no, ill lose the affection of the person. but the affection is important to me.” this way of thinking can be replaced by this: “if he only likes me because i always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. “one needs to present the situation from ones own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. the other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”when the refusal (拒绝) is not accepted, steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message .56. most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because _.a. they dont care about their own interests and feelings b. they dont know they will regret afterwards c. they have already been used to saying “yes” d. they care more about others affection57. in the opinion of experts, _ .a. people need a lot of practice to say “no” b. people should say “yes” to keep the peace c. saying “no” means losing a job d. people have the right to be liked58. according to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other persons request?a. just say you cant help him. b. say sorry to him.c. refuse him clearly. d. talk to the other person to find a mutual way.59. according to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?a. say yes to him. b. repeat your reason for his acceptance c. just go away d. say no to him60. what is the best title of the passage?a. you need courage to say “no” b. “yes” more than “no” c. nobody has the right to say “no” d. its easy to say “yes”b as the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. but relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. in fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. it is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. the amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. when exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. in fact we make choice between fight or flight and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. the crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. it is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. 61. people are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_. a. they do not know how to enjoy themselves b. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health c. they are travelling fast all the time d. they are becoming busier with their work 62. according to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his _. a. not fearing stress b. knowing the art of relaxation c. high sense of responsibility d. having control over performance 63. which of the following statements is true? a. we can find some ways to avoid stress. b. stress is always harmful to people. c. it is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work. d. different people can withstand different amounts of stress. 64. in paragraph 3, such a reaction refers back to_. a. making a choice between flight or fight b. reaction to stress both chemically and physically c. responding to crises quickly d. losing heart at the signs difficulties 65. in the last sentence of the passage, do so refers to _. a. expose ourselves to stress b. find ways to deal with stress c. remove stress from our lives d. established links between diseases and stressc do you know who invented the slide-fastener, or rather, the zipper（拉链）? no one thought of anything like the zipper until whitcomb judson came along. judsons slide-fastener was an out-of-blue invention. no one knows what gave him the idea. no one even knows much about him, except that he was a mechanical engineer living in chicago and that he patented other inventions to do with a street railway system and motorcars.judson invented the first zipper in 1891. this ingenious little device looks very simple, and the principle behind it is simple, too; yet it took a lot of years, together with another inventor to make the zipper really practical.the zipper had to be produced cheaply, because no one would pay a lot of money for it. judson invented a machine to mass-produce his slide-fastener. but the machine was terribly complicated and kept on breaking down. so in 1905 judson invented a new fastener, the c-curity, which was easier to manufacture. clothing manufacturers, however, were not the least bit interested in trying out the fasteners, so the only way judson could get them on to the market was by letting pedlars（小贩） sell them from door to door. moreover, the c-curity fastener was clumsy and had a bad habit of bursting open at inconvenient times.then a young swedish engineer called sundback came to work for judsons struggling company. he thought hard and decided that the interlocking parts needed to be much smaller to give the fastener greater flexibility and to stop it bursting open. after several attempts, sundback invented a really practical fastener in 1913. it is in all important ways the same as the one we use today.clothing manufacturers still refused to use the fastener. but in 1918 an inventor showed the american army a flying suit he had invented. it happened to use the slide-fastener. the army put the suit through such tough tests that it disintegrated(分裂)-all except the fastener! a navy officer happened to see the tests, and judsons unknown little company got an order for ten thousand fasteners. later, judsons invention was used in the manufacture of rubber galoshes（橡胶套鞋） by a big company. they called the galoshes zippers. this is how the slide-fastener got its popular name.66. what does the sentence “whitcomb judsons slide-fastener was called an out-of-blue invention” in the first paragraph mean?a. that it was blue in color. b. that it was totally unexpected.c. that it was exce
